Thai Khem Khaeng economic stimulus extension likely until 2013
The slow disbursement of Thai Khem Khaeng economic stimulus funds may prompt the government to extend the plan by one more year to 2013, says Korbsak Sabhavasu, the secretary-general to Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva. The latest figures show that only 43 billion baht or 26% of the first stimulus package worth 160 billion baht has been disbursed so far. For the second package worth 150 billion, about 82 billion has been allocated and 42 billion baht disbursed.
